NICE!!   Looks great!!     Yeah,I was considering that hood...But it's pricey!! Custom stuff always is.  I heard him talk about how many were interested in them.  Get a beater hood for 100 bucks.YO sells busted up AAR hoods for cheaper.But not a whole lot.  I'd rather have a steel hood to graph it to.  Glass never looks the same IMO.   So how much is he charging for those suckers???   :money:

Tim said he'd build it for $1500.00-$1600.00, and I assume that is not the cost of having the Dart flat hood and AAR "skin" shipped to his shop but I'm not sure of that? But I'll personally pick up the finished hood, I have a son who lives about an hours drive from Tim's shop. Or if Tony would consider the job I also have another son who lives about the same distance from his shop too  :roflsmiley: So visit the boy, drink some of his beer for a change and then pick up the hood next day and drive home.  :roflsmiley:

I shyly mentioned this consideration over the weekend to Pam, she said that was a lot of money the Dart needed other places first, but she didn't seem opposed otherwise, I showed her the pic of the Duster first and asked her what she thought of the hood, when she positively responded, then I told/asked her.  :dogpile:

IMO 1600 isnt that bad, considering all the work that will have to go in it. Its not cheap by anymeans, but its cheaper then i expected it to be.

Not to diminish anyone elses skills.....................Tony, with that post/response when the time comes ($$$$$$) you just got a job.  :2thumbs:  I'll have the parts sent to your shop and Pam and I will soon after arrive with a full cooler and it will be your brand. But I'll rathon your share until the job is done.  :roflsmiley:  Miss ya buddy, we really enjoyed the two+ days we sit around your shop (we didn't really do that much) during the Cuda Guy makeover, you also got some special friends out there too ! Anyone who would do what you did and still do the caliber of work that your shop put out deserves so much more.  :cheers:
